EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the breathtaking beauty of a Chinese Peony, specifically the variety Paeonia lactiflora, also known as the White Chinese Peony or the Festive White Peony (Paeonia albiflora festiva). The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" (Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe), published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium between 1867 and 1868. The Chinese Peony is renowned for its grandeur and elegance, with its large, velvety white petals that unfurl in a stunning display of opulence. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and stamen are beautifully captured in this lithograph, highlighting the delicate intricacy of the flower. The Chinese Peony has a rich cultural history, with its origins dating back to ancient China. It was highly prized for its beauty and symbolism, representing wealth, prosperity, and honor. The flower was often depicted in Chinese art and literature, and was a popular subject for poets and scholars. This lithograph is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the horticultural community during the 19th century, who were passionate about documenting and preserving the natural world. The intricate handcolouring technique adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. The Chinese Peony continues to be a beloved flower around the world, and this stunning lithograph serves as a reminder of its timeless beauty and significance in horticulture and culture.
